The Immersing of Sister Jonc

Lie Oh SlSCer zones.
We have always regarded the Buffa-
10 Courier as one OF the George Wash
ingtons OF the press, but it must be
! confessed that stories OF this sort are
calculated to create skepticism regard
ing it's devotion to the Ratchet princi-
pie: 1t is transpired that u party Of
deep.water Baptists held q service on
the Canadian river bank, opposite the
head OF Grand island. recently.
There were some ten or a dozen con-
verts, mostly women. One oithese. it
seems, was afraid OF drowning, and she
had her suit lined with cork fromneck
to heels, but she didn't say anything
about it. The seavice proceeded with
out a hitch and it came Sister Jones's
turn toimmersed. The minister waded
out into the stream, leading the sister
by the hand, and repeating the ritual.
When they got waist deep Sister Jones
had much difficulty in keeping her feet
on the bottom, and the deeper she
waded the histrouble increased,
but she didn't want to say anything.
All at once, however, the current
took her off her feet. and threw her
lengthwlse on the surface OF the water.
The minister grabbed her
and tried to pull her under.
The current was every instant
dragging her out. The minister, ex-
claiming "What the dickens is the
matter?" clutched frantically at
the fair convert, who was herself
struggling to an upright posi-.
ton, but without success. The min
lister found himself getting out OF his
depth and screamed for help, but no
one offered to come out; the current
was very swift. The minister looked
around and saw that he was slipping
rapidly down the river; he couldn't
touch bottom. With a superhuman
effort he swung himself up and seated
himself on his fair raft. and wildly
tlourishing his arms to the people on
shore who were nov fading into mere
specks. "This is horrible" said the
minister looking around on the waste
OF waters; sin three hours we'll be
over the falls. Sister Jones let us sing
something in this trying hour" Sis
ter Jones, who had BEEN emitting
shrieks like a steam calliope, only
shrieked the louder, and the minister
struck up in g rich, tremulous tenor.
"Rescue the Perishing." He had hard
ly finished the first stanza when a
small steam yacht hove in sight and
bore down on them in response to the
gestures OF the minister, and in fifteen
minutes they were rescued in an ex-
hausted condition. The clergyman, is
perhaps, thinking OF becoming a Con-
gregationalist, while the young convert
is SO ba%ckslidden that fears are enter.

Russia In Central Asia.

Russia not only intends to absorb all
the Central Asian states, but to make
them, if possible, profitable holdings. A
huge cotton plantation has been estab-
lishedl heal Merv and is said to give ex-
cellent promise. Mills are also to be
erected for turning the cotton into cloth
for the Persian market, where the Rus
slams will have, by reason of proximity
and ease of access. enormous advantage
over all competitors. A market has been
found in Persia for Russian petroleum,
and a dozen aravan Of 500 camels each
are now constantly employed in trans
porting it thither from Baku. These and
other new fields of enterprise Russia has
a monopoly of and will keep it. Per-
mission TO start another cotton field near
Merv has just been refused to an Ameri-
can company, and foreigners of all ma
tons are given to understand that there
is no opening for them in that part of the
world. 1t may be that the Tartar wastes
can be rehabilitated in the productiyeness
and wealth that were once theirs. If so,

deserve another Firdusi and a new Shah

THE administration party remains
divided upon The question of its reve-
niue policy. This is Il fact which is
made apparent by a comparison of re.
cen utterances OF state conventions of
the party in reference to the tariff.
Take, for example, the tariff planks in
the Pennsylvania and Iowa platforms
which have been put forth within the
week. The Pennsylvania plank nf.
firms the declaration made by the con-
vention Of 1856, and recommends, as a
measure to prevent the accumulation
Of the surplus, q 'wise and prudent
reduction Of internal taxation and of
duties on imports In accordance with
that declaration. The convention of
1856 declared In favor Of "a fair re-
vision of the evenu laws" which
would not deprive American labor of
the ability to compete successfully
with foreign labor. nor impose lower
rates Of duty than would be ample to
cover any increased cost Of production
which might exist In consequence OF
the higher rate OF wages prevailing
here. This result is regarded as . vic
tory for Mr.. Randall and for protec-
tiop. In lows, on the other hand, q
very different plank has been put In
the party platform. The followers OF
the administration there declare In
favor Of the immediate reduction OF
the tariff 70 . evenu basis, and favor
the retention OF the revenue tax on In
t~oxicating liquors aud tobacco, and
protest against lie proposed reduction

The melograph and melotrope are two
little instruments invented by an in
genious carpenter named Jules Charpen-
tier, which, it is claimed, will enable a
composer to record permanently by cleo
tricity music as it is played on the piano
forte. This is a great boon for players
who compose with their fingers and will
enable them TO de.uge the public with
trashy improvisations. However, it has
an art side as well, since it will enable
composers of ability to escape the drudg-
cry of writing. The melograph records
the music upon a sheet of paper, and this
sheet passed through the melotrope pro-
duces each note and expression. This
was demonstrated most successfully by

INDIANAPOLIS needs competition in several
directions where monopoly now exists; as, for
instance, in street railways and the gas bust
ness. Citizens who have grown weary of pay
ing unreasonably big bills for light of a poor
quality will hail with pleasure the announce
ment that an attempt-this time in genuine
earnest and not by the old gas company-is
to be made to secure natural gas. With No
blesville, Muncie and other suburbs in the
'belt," it would really seem like unjust dis
elimination if indianapolis should prove to bt
on the outside.

Useless Instructions That Continue To Be
Impaired to the Army and Navy.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb 19-"We continue to have,
a great many conventionaties in our naval and

an old naval officer. to-day. 1--WE continue to in
struct our naval cadets and marines in boarding
ships" continued he when there is not the least
particle of utility in it 1t is as senselees
to talk about boarding man of-war as it is to
take trip to the moon I remember that dnr-
ing one of the last engagements in European
waters a man of war belonging to some country
ran alongside British vessel, and all handG

fighting with ships by means of dynamite, rams,
steel projectiles and the big guns We have no
use for the barbarous side arms and other relics
of antiquity. Almost as much may be said of
many Of the teachings in the army. We hear
great deal about the alertness Of the
French and German soldiers This is easily
explained. These men are kept in constant
state OF excitement. In Germany, for instance,
graph to even lieutenant on some outpost al
any moment, inquiring Of him if he can be ready
to move for action at few hours notice, where
he would get forage and any other assistance
which might be necessary. This little officer is
likely to be asked at any moment about some
grave question involving an. imaginary move Of
whole armies, and is constantly consulted in ref
erence to the most important and vexatioua
questions which might arise in the event of an
emergency. This has double effet. It bright
ems up the officers and privates, insures active
practice and keeps up not only the esprit de
corps, but the interest which is necessary to
make good soldiers. Our soldiers and marines.
however. have more ingenuity and native sense
than those Of any other country. Unlike other
men in the service of other countries. they FREE

PRAYERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
